Seriously though, this is one hell of a storm in a teacup, and I can't for the life of me think of a good *reason* why everyone's so upset about it. Yes, a mistake was made, but so what? - this is -CURRENT! When mistakes are made we fix them and get on with life - not go thermonuclear. Second, the major bump was unfortunate but in the grand scheme of things it makes no difference at all.. 'make world' will resolve it, so there is no urgency. C'mon guys, we're supposed to be here for personal enjoyment! Life's too short as it is and there are nowhere near enough hours in the day..
